China Peak Sprint Triathlon

Swim – The race starts from the beach in Huntington Lake, nestled in the Sierra Nevada mountains at 7,000 feet altitude. The water temperature will be cold – expect 50 to 52 degrees water, or colder for the half mile swim.

Bike – The 16 mile two-loop bike course is an out and back course on local roads winding through the sequoia and redwood trees along the shoreline of Huntington Lake. Athletes are responsible for counting their own bike laps to insure they finish both laps.

Run – The 3-mile run course is perhaps one of the most scenic and beautiful sprint triathlon run courses in the country. Winding along the shore of the lake on footpath trails shaded by giant trees, the course combines a little bit of pavement through the campground with the single track trails.

Transition Area – The Transition area will be on a first-come basis, with the exception of Reserved Bike Racks for TRI Clubs. The transition area at all TBF Racing events is for athletes only. All non-athletes must remain outside of the transition area at all times on race day. Bodymarking will be take place at the entrance to the transition area and must be completed before you enter the transition area. Athletes will have their race number marked on their legs and arms and have their age division on their calf. Glass or bottles are not allowed in the transition area.

Aid Stations: 
Aid stations will be located in the transition area and at mile one and two on the run course, serving cold water, CLIF Gel Shots, and Electrolyte beverage.

Huntington Lake Half Marathon – The 13.1 mile run course for the Huntington Lake Half Marathon runs along the shoreline of the lake for a beautiful out-and-back course that is almost entirely shaded under huge ancient sequoia and redwood trees as it winds along the serene and calm lake. Fully stocked aid stations will be every two miles on the course.
